We have to wear white for nursing school, and we all hate it! You have to wear extra layers to cover up your bra and underwear. I had to buy all new bras and undies because I had no white! And, as you mentioned, during certain times it's a PITA!

I totally did this. Nice little bonfire in the backyard....along with my hunter green ones that I wore as a nursing assistant for 5 years. once I got my first nursing job and found out that I could wear whatever color I wanted..those were torched:-)

Our hospital requires white scrubs for all nurses, except those in surgery, labor/del, and peds. It is the worst color for nurses, which is why I'm glad I'm in one of the exempt groups. They get so dingy after a while and it just looks bad. And you can totally tell who smokes and who doesn't. Definitely not a reason to turn down a job though, but I wish a different color was associated with nursing.
